Of the drawings illustrating one embodiment of my invention- Figure 1 is a front view thereof;

Fig. 2, a plan view, with the cover removed;

Fig. 3, a vertical section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2, with the cover raised;

Fig. 4, a view of the blank from which one form of the receptacle may be made, showing the manner of scoring and folding the blank to form the receptacle;

Fig.5, a side elevation of. the receptacle with a modified form of cover, the latter eing in raised position;

Fig. 6, a plan view of this form of cover; Fig. 7, a vertical section on the lines 77, Fig. 6, showing on a receptacle of the type shown in Fig. 5;

Fig. 8, a further modified form of cover illustrating the manner in which it may be,

applied to a receptacle of different construction; Y

Fig. 9 illustrates a further modification of the invention in connection with a recep tacle of the type shown in Fig. 8 and Fig. 10, a modification in connection with the type of receptacle shown'in Figs. 1 to 3.

Referring first to Fig. 4, the blank shown therein, which is one convenient form for the purpose, and of paper, is first scored along the several lines 1, 1, outlining the front 2, back 3 and two side members 4, 4, forming at the same time the triangular corner or .wing members 5, 5, 5, 5. The front and back members 2, 3,

and sides 4, 4, are then scored along the lines 6, 7, and 8, 8, respectively, forming front and back extension members 9, 10, and side extension members 11, 11, adapted to be folde drawings representing like room and hospital. The aim of this the cover in position suitable material, as

ed to form a downwardly extended flange to be referred to.

One extension, as herein, 10, Fig. 4, is

preferably out along the lines 12, 12, 12, and scored along the line 13. The blank is then scored alongthe lines 14, 14, 14, 14, outlining the base of the receptacle. The triangular wing members 5, 5, 5, 5, are next scored along the lines 15, 15, 15, 15. v

To form the receptacle the front and back members 2, 3, are respectively folded upwardly along their lines 14, 14. The sides 4, 4, are then similarly folded upwardly along their lines'14, 14, the several triangular wings 5 The four extension members 9, 10, 11, 11,

' are then folded inwardly and downwardly along the lines 6, 7, 8, 8, forming thereby a downwardly and inwardly extended flange on the front, back and two sides of the re ceptacle, the being thereby pressed closely against the two sides 4, 4, of the receptacle. To look the side members together, the corners 16, 16, 16, 16, are respectively sprung back of the adjoining edges of the members 9 and 10, the

tabs 17, 17, 17, 17, respectively being positioned thereby back of and under the lips 18, 18, on the inner edges of the extensions 11', 11. The receptacle is thus formed and the parts securely looked as described.

If preferred, the triangular wing members 5, 5, 5, 5, may be folded outwardly along the lines 15, 15, 15, 15, and pressed back close against the outside walls of the members 4, 4, instead of against the inside walls of these members, but in this case the wings 5, 5, 5, 5, are preferably secured to the outside walls of the members 4, 4, either by some securing device,.as a staple, or suitable paste or cement. The tongue or hinge member 19 is formed by the bending down of member 10 along the scored line 6, the cuts 12, 12, 12, permitting it to remain erect.

Receptacles of this nature are used both without a holder receptacles are used without a holder,.unless they are made of very stiff material to insure their holding their shape, they are usually easily bent out of shape by the frequent handling that they are subjected to by being at the same time folded inwardly along the several lines 15.
